Has anyone tried using a MBP with TD at two different sites?

I just got my TD at home and at one at work yesterday. While I love the display and the docking ability it provides, I have encountered an issue that I haven't resolved, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.
At home, the TD is positioned to the left side of the MBP, so I was able to orient the display preferences accordingly. At work, I have to position the TD above the MBP. The starting position for the TD is above the MBP. I am wondering if the MBP can recognize that these two TDs are different devices and position them accordingly. It appears not.
Another interesting quirk: At home, the MBP recognizes the built-in mic and speakers and calls them Thunderbolt audio, I believe. At work, it calls them USB audio. I am wondering what other strange differences I'll see.
2011 17" MBP
TD
Snow Leopard (hey, I still run XP under Parallels 6.0 - I like my SW to thoroughly soak before using it)

Here's an update: The Thunderbold Display user interface is broken.
I made sure all the software/firmware was up to date (now they both label the TD audio as USB, interestingly enough - was the shipped firmware with one of the devices newer than that on the web site???). On days when the Moon is full, the MBP comes out of hibernation with the only display on the computer, on cloudy days, the computer comes out of hibernation with the only display on the TD. From 10 minutes after the hour until quarter to the hour, both displays come up, but open Finder windows randomly are placed on one display or the other. On Thursday mornings, the icon locations on the desktop get shuffled like the display resolution was reduced to VGA and then restored. While both the TD and MBP audio and camera work and I can set either to be active, the system has a definite preference to use the TD for audio and camera (except that Facetime only wants to use the MBP audio).
Did Apple let Microsoft get their hands on this?

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...

The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
functions with your data.
There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
about Oracle Spatial data types.
The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
sdo_gtype=3002
sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
(element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
hand side y,z plane.
etc.
The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work.

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Well, there is an article on MacWorld saying there were a lot of changes and improvements to Disk Utility.... and those have a way of impacting things.
I got surprised to have trouble after 10.6.3 with SuperDuper on two different systems, that I am still scratching my head over, but had to use Carbon Copy Cloner and RESTORE in Disk Utility for now, would crash (sent report to both) as soon as SD began.
TechTool Pro 5 is another that sometimes needs to take a couple weeks to see if they need an update and validate against the final shipped build.

AVCHD - Has anyone tried using Parallels

Hello,
I have the HDR-SR1 and am just as frustrated as everyone else on this board.
Has anyone tried using Parallels to capture the AVCHD footage in the Windows environment then bringing it into FPC on your Mac?
I tried but couldn't get it to locate the drive. My last solution is the Blackmagic vid card, just wanted to see if this works before I buy one.
cheers

Has anyone tried to sync photos with the cable to itunes rather than how it should work via Wifi with iCloud? The info on the Apple support page says that you should backup to both iTunes & iCloud, but 2x the Genius Bar told me not to. Help please!

Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud? On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both. What experiences has the community had? I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates. (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1) Thanks much!

It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Has anyone tried 1 terabyte drives with Apple G5 PCI RAID card 1M9699g?

I am planning on setting up RAID 5 on one of my PPC G5 Xservers with an Apple PCI RAID card and 3 Hitachi 1 terabyte HDs. At $180 a drive and a $300 or so for a card this seems like a good setup. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions.

It worked, for about $860 I now have a 1.8 TB xServer

Has anyone tried using a JavaScript External Library with 64bit InDesign?

I have an event listener that calls a JavaScript file. The JS script uses a c++ external library. All works fine with 32 bit InDesign including the new cloud version, but I get an "I/O error" when trying to load the library from a 64bit InDesign generated event. I have even tried using the sample project BasicExternalObject and get the same error.
Any thots would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Zhiqiang_Li <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Zhiqiang_Li> ,
Yes, I got this working some time ago. I am not a mac user but perhaps the general principle is the same:
In Windows 64, if your application is compiled 64bit then you can only access InDesign 64bit and its object library. However if your app is 32 bit then you can only access InDesign 32bit and its object library.
Sorry I don’t know more about the mac. All of our users (200+) use InDesign for windows so of course our app is also windows based. Does the mac support both a 32 and 64 bit version of InDesign? If not my solution will not be much help.

Has anyone tried using a Mac to stream BBC iPlayer content to a 360 or PS3?

Hi there
I am not sure where to post this query, and there doesn't seem to be a good place to ask questions regarding iPlayer and the Mac, but I thought I'd try here.
I have tried using the PS3's iPlayer, and for the most part it's good, but sometimes fails to have some of the content the normal iPlayer site has (bizarrely).
To try and sort this problem, I've downloaded iPlayer desktop for Mac, which allows me to download programmes to my mac, but what I really want to do is stream those programmes so that I can watch them on my TV.
I have both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 (and mac software to stream content to both) but the .mp4 files it downloads won't play on either console. The 360 just doesn't see it, and the PS3 sees it but when playing the screen just goes black.
I have tried exporting iPlayer's .mp4 file in another format, but none of my other software will open it [Divx converter, iMovie, Quicktime Pro], let alone convert it into another format (such as .mov or divx for good streaming).
I'm sure that I heard iPlayer uses WMV, but I can't find any way of changing what format iPlayer Desktop downloads.
Any ideas how I can get past this?

Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio? Need to know for iCloud update.

I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
Anyone using Logic 8 with this? I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
Thanks

I can give a partial answer.
If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it? How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)? Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not. But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
Thanks!

Thanks. I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat. Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP. Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had. I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack. A beautiful thing. I'll play with it some more to see how it performs. But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant.
So far, so good.

Has anyone tried using the app Telnames for their mobile sites/storage?

Have been looking at EverWeb and lurking in the forums following the discussions regarding it. Downloaded the demo and it seems like more then I want to do. (Still using iWeb for my main site)
While looking for alternatives I saw Telnames on App Store. I would like to know if anyone has tried using/buying it? I will be working on a 6+ and building a Bed and Breakfast mobile site.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info on symlinks. I pretty much already convinced the powers above me this was a bad idea because of the horrible performance and problems getting OS X to even recognize it as a home directory, but the symlink info is the nail in the coffin. We have had great success using windows file servers for our network home directories (we are a complete windows shop besides my macs) and I really didn't want to change anyways.

Has anyone tried a modified PAC with Janus Procy

Hi, i have been tryin to get some privacy and speed with my firefox for android 35.0
And modified PAC url according to this site: about:reader?url=http%3A%2F%2Fradare.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fwk%2FTOR&tabId=7 .::. I.e the one for iphone : http://radare.org/tor.pac much faster and hopefully more secure.. anyone tried something similar? It would be nice to be proxied through tor.. but my ip seems the same.

Hi Tullemeck:
# Not sure what you mean by Janus proxy! Do you mean Mozilla proxy called Janus i.e. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/janus-proxy-configurator/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/janus-proxy-configurator/
# Or do you mean something http://radare.org/y/
# In any case it's hard to figure out what you did. Please let us know:
#* what you did, what you expected, what happened
#* what version of Android OS, what tablet or phone

Has anyone tried the "Table Filters" with Numbers 3.0 (Maverick).

I use the formula If(isblank(A5),"","Data"). the previous version of Numbers treated the "" as a blank cell and the Table Filters did not display that row if I had the "Reorginize" filter set to "Is Not Blank". The Maverick version treats the "" as text. Has anyone found a work-around for this?

EM,
I'd suggest that you try changing
If(isblank(A5),"","Data")
to
If(isblank(A5)," ","Data")
I changed the null string to a space character.
When you sort, choose text is NOT a space. (Edit: I meant to say Filter, not sort)
